Simple Caulking Technique You On Here » Simple Caulking Technique

By Mark J. Donovan

A simple way to get an excellent caulk line every time is to apply masking tape on either side of the gap you want to caulk. You can determine how big of a caulk line you want to leave by how large of a gap you leave between the two strips of masking tape.

After applying the masking tape, run a bead of caulk the length of the gap into the joint.

Once you have applied the caulk use a putty knife to smooth the caulk / joint.

Finally, as soon as you have smoothed out the caulk, immediately remove the masking tape. If done right you will have a beautiful caulk seam, with very fine edges.

Give it a shot.
